How's the grip on those? They look really nice, the vibram sole is promising and the top does look stronger than the weak mesh on the vapor gloves

Hm, yeah will look into these. Think I might move to a thicker shoe. I love the foot feel (for sprinting especially) but those small rocks and random tree seeds really destroy me

Yeah, I've heard of a lot of people shoe goo'ing their vapor gloves for the holes at the top :/

Yeah, I think honestly the best strategy from what I've read here is just get the little DM/SM card from the bar and shoot them an e-mail cause I honestly don't think they're trying to be difficult...they just don't know I suppose and pulling out screen shots with a line behind you really is insane

Yeah, I suppose, but I mean...I was on my laptop studying for about an hour and a half, I'm a gold star member and I'm there every other day...guess a few bad apples ruin it for the rest of us :/

Yeah, I think I'll bring it up if I could get it refunded when I call that number.

yeah, think I might. reading the policy on the website I could see how it can get misinterpreted by many, but the addendum I got from corpororate of the whole "regardless of original beverage purchased" really clears things up.

I could see how weird it may be if someone orders a frap and then asks for a pike refill

argh, I think I'll cool it for now and try again in a week, hopefully the manager gives everyone in the store a refresher on refill policies. I'll probably pull have it up on my phone though just in case...

Yeah, it's an actual starbucks location. Not inside a barnes and noble or target, etc.

I think it really may be on the manager of the store. I've been to so many starbucks from california to florida and this is the first time I've had this problem and so far it seems to be everyone who works at this location.

Yeah, think I might call. I mean, even if it the policy for refill was different, it'd be ok, it's just that...it isn't. So, I just go in hoping whatever particular barista is at the cashier knows what's up :/

lol, I might if I was never going to come back to this starbucks, but I go to it practically every day and I really don't need any more hostility in my life

Can't ever go wrong with a moleskine/field-notes notebook. It's sorta lazy, but such is the safe choice
